Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Doctor Strange [Gold Foil] #82 sells for $81.00 against $48.39 raw: a $32.61 spread, 1.7× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($74.07) clears the raw price after an economy-tier ~$25 fee, so a near-miss still comes out ahead. Centering is the usual reason a clean copy misses the 10 — measure it before you submit.
